Another 'Meat Servo' (Helo Style) in the Family

....and I mean that in the most loving, generous and approving way.Yesterday, Number 1 (and only) Son joined the ranks of licensed pilots.Proving some dreams can be caught if you pursue them.

When people don't know what you mean,They may laugh at you and call you green,They say your words are stupid and your plans are only schemesTruth is simple, but seldom ever seen,Let nothing stand betweenSimple Man, Simple Dream.-J.D. Souther
